Program Idea: I wanted to do a documentary about the animals that live at Animal Ark. I wanted to show how Animal Ark provides a safe place for animals who cannot take care of themselves in the wild. Educational Message: My educational message is that wild animals do not make good pets. These animals are not domesticated.  Animal Ark provides a safe place for animals that cannot be released back to the wild. Documentary: 4-6 Japanese Schools: A Documentary by Antone Cruz Antone Cruz - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students in America. Program Idea: I make an annual trip to Japan for my off track time and I have the chance to go to a Japanese school. Educational Message: I wish to teach what school is like outside the US. Documentary: 7-8 Bodie A Town Frozen in Time Alexandria Clark - T. R. Smedberg Middle School Target Audience: Everyone Program Idea: When we went on a family trip to Bodie.

Educational Message: To inform people about Bodie State Park Documentary: 9-12 The Hunzakites Aleksey Lavor and Christopher Orbe - Center High School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students. Program Idea: First Things First exists to keep the 7th and 8th grade students at Toby Johnson Middle School informed about local, national and international news as well as campus events. We try to also include some fun elements that help students stay connected to school. Educational Message: Staying informed and connected to school helps students perform better in their studies and care more about their school community.  Our show gives us an opportunity to tell students about the many activities our school offers and help students from every walk of life feel connected to what's going on. School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers. Program Idea: The idea for this project was to show how a group of teens could turn a fund raiser into a learning experience. They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to make a video related to what we were studying in class in math. Educational Message: Learning the difference between value and place value is important.

I wish too teach highschool students that it is not okay to "freak" and act wildly at dances.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong. It's mean to tell a person no they can't play with you. The right thing to do is to say they can play with you. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: I wanted to do a documentary about the animals that live at Animal Ark. I wanted to show how Animal Ark provides a safe place for animals who cannot take care of themselves in the wild. Educational Message: My educational message is that wild animals do not make good pets. These animals are not domesticated.  Animal Ark provides a safe place for animals that cannot be released back to the wild.

Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to make a video related to what we were studying in class in math. Educational Message: Learning the difference between value and place value is important.

I wish too teach highschool students that it is not okay to "freak" and act wildly at dances.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong. It's mean to tell a person no they can't play with you. The right thing to do is to say they can play with you. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to make a video related to what we were studying in class in math. Educational Message: Learning the difference between value and place value is important.

I wish too teach highschool students that it is not okay to "freak" and act wildly at dances.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong. It's mean to tell a person no they can't play with you. The right thing to do is to say they can play with you. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to make a video related to what we were studying in class in math. Educational Message: Learning the difference between value and place value is important.

I wish too teach highschool students that it is not okay to "freak" and act wildly at dances.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong. It's mean to tell a person no they can't play with you. The right thing to do is to say they can play with you. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to make a video related to what we were studying in class in math. Educational Message: Learning the difference between value and place value is important.

I wish too teach highschool students that it is not okay to "freak" and act wildly at dances.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong. It's mean to tell a person no they can't play with you. The right thing to do is to say they can play with you. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video Videos and information from the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium (SECC) Tue, 08 May 2012 18:01:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1473 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1473#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 18:01:48 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1473 Documentary: K-3 Animal Ark Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone.

Educational Message: To inform people about Bodie State Park Documentary: 9-12 The Hunzakites Aleksey Lavor and Christopher Orbe - Center High School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: I read some interesting things from a book and thought that people should check this out.  This would be a good way to tell people about what I believe IS the cure for cancer, and so I made this. Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong.

Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum.

Educational Message: Staying informed and connected to school helps students perform better in their studies and care more about their school community.  Our show gives us an opportunity to tell students about the many activities our school offers and help students from every walk of life feel connected to what's going on. School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves.

Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

Educational Message: I present you with information, you decide what you want to believe. Documentary: 9-12 The Japanese Internment Trevor Morisawa, Matthew Mesfin - Franklin High School Target Audience: American teens. Program Idea: The program idea evolved from the fact that members of both sides of Trevor Morisawa's family were imprisoned in the Tule Lake internment camp during World War II. His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash.

School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone.

Educational Message: Staying informed and connected to school helps students perform better in their studies and care more about their school community.  Our show gives us an opportunity to tell students about the many activities our school offers and help students from every walk of life feel connected to what's going on. School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.

His great-grandmother, Yoshiko Morisawa, was interned while she was just beginning high school, an interesting parallel to the current age of the producers in the class. Educational Message: The program intends to teach the audience about the folly of the blind discrimination that plagued America during World War II. The war-fueled hysteria resulted in the unfair denial of basic human rights to the many people of Japanese descent living in the country, a terrible crime that should never be committed again.

Or Exclusion? Foulks Ranch Elementary School Video Production Club - Foulks Ranch Elementary School Target Audience: Students grades K-6. Program Idea: We wanted to create a short, PSA as part of a school-wide character education focus on bullying. Educational Message: We wanted to show that bullying is wrong.

Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Germs are Everywhere Dale Strain, Tom Higdon - Mills Middle School Target Audience: Mills Middle School. Program Idea: We started talking about doing a germ video then we dicided it would be cool to do a claymation where the germs consume the student's hand. Educational Message: Germs are everywhere so use a tissue or some other anti bacterial device. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 7-8 Keep Our School Clean Sanjeet Jain, Sunny Hsu, Earl Mirano - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: Middle school students.

We actually created another version of this video for our Video Productions class, but it attained quite a few problems. We then remade the whole movie, improving aspects like lighting, headroom, and pacing. Educational Message: Always be sure to keep your community clean and free of trash. Public Service Announcement (PSA): 9-12 Healthy Lifestyle Becky Theiss - Franklin High School Target Audience: K-12 Program Idea: Our Animation 2 class was assigned to make a PSA.  I selected fitness as my topic Educational Message: Increased activity can reduce obesity.

Kristiana Perris - Cosumnes River Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone at my school.

Educational Message: My educational message is that K-9 dogs are trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. School News: 4-6 Chewing Gum at Donner Elitha Donner’s Film Academy - Elitha Donner Elementary School Target Audience: Everyone. Program Idea: My ideas evolved from a PSA to not chewing gum at school to showing kids if they are responsible then the adults would trust kids with gum. I was convinced of that after I interviewed my dental hygienist. Educational Message: My educational message is to show that kids should be given a chance to show they are responsible and chewing gum is good for your teeth. School News: 7-8 TJ-TV First Things First - Toby Johnson Middle School Target Audience: 7th and 8th grade students.

We try to also include some fun elements that help students stay connected to school. Educational Message: Staying informed and connected to school helps students perform better in their studies and care more about their school community.  Our show gives us an opportunity to tell students about the many activities our school offers and help students from every walk of life feel connected to what's going on. School News: 9-12 Video Camp Daniela Krestoff - Center High School Target Audience: Students and teachers. Program Idea: The idea for this project was to show how a group of teens could turn a fund raiser into a learning experience. They spent 1 week teaching elementary school children how to make educational videos that would later be entered into the SEVA awards Educational Message: The educational message in this video shows the learning experiences of both the group leaders and the children. They learned how teaching others ended up being an opportunity to teach themselves. School News: College/University CRC Automotive Mechanics Technology News Package Casey Schoch - Cosumnes River College Target Audience: Students who are or will be attending Cosumnes River College. Program Idea: A news package that clearly explains what Cosumnes River College's Automotive program can offer to its future students. I also did not want to include music since it's standard news format not to have music in a news package. Educational Message: The message is to inform Cosumnes River College students about the Automotive Mechanics Technology program, and explain the benefits of the program.

The interview clips included in the documentary have been gleaned from the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Time of Remembrance Oral Histories Project. Through our partnership with the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium and with funding from our district’s Teaching American History grant and the California State Library’s Civil Liberties Public Education Program, we continue to grow this dynamic collection of interviews, resources, and lessons for learning and teaching about the internment experience. I’m American Too also stems from the ongoing commitment of Elk Grove to record and archive our local “stories from behind the fences.”  As a district and as a community, we recognize how the internment of thousands of Japanese-American residents during the war years profoundly affected and forever changed the history of this once small farming community. We hope the documentary will ignite conversations in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities on how events from the past connect to the present and on the need to understand and embrace both the rights and responsibilities of that are the foundation of U.S. citizenship. We also wish to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for the Time of Remembrance interviewees. Their first-hand accounts of relocation, resistance, and resilience stand as testimony to the power of the human spirit - and as a reminder of how quickly “the thin veneer of tolerance can be ripped off.” Elk Grove Unified School District Time of Remembrance Website http://www.egusd.net/tor Alternate Video Formats iPhone/iPad - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.m4v) Quicktime - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.mov) Windows Media - I'm American Too - Stories from Behind the Fences (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1415 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:40:32 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1411 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00 Show Begins 00:38  Bike Safety – Pershing ES 02:45  A Place for Art – Natomas Charter 10:18  How to Dance the Hasapiko – Cosumnes River ES 13:33  How to Play the Drums – Natomas Charter 20:29  The Basics of Stop Motion – Creative Connections Art Academy 22:35  How to Add Decimals – Foulks Ranch ES Host:  Willie Huggins Other Available Viewing Formats iPhone/iPod Touch - Student DV Show 90 (.m4v) Quicktime - StudentDV Show 90 (.mp4) Windows Media - StudentDV Show 90 (.wmv)]]> http://www.secctv.org/video/?feed=rss2&p=1411 0 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405#comments Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:23:57 +0000 Admin http://www.secctv.org/video/?p=1405 Featured Interviews & Videos 00:00  Show Begins 00:40  CFL The Conversion Begins – Center HS 04:08  The Big Move – Harmon Johnson ES 10:28  How 2 Go Green – Toby Johnson MS 11:56  Littering – Luther Burbank HS 16:32  The Three Rs – David Reese ES 19:19  Texting or Life – Katherine L.
